August 30, 2022EP. 33 - Avoid These Running Traps!
In this episode of the podcast, we (Sara & Austin) discuss common areas of struggle for runners of all skill levels! These mistakes present themselves as ‘traps’ because they threaten to hinder progress, and potentially even cause regression for some runners.
The most common traps that we address are…
Running someone else’s training or race approach

Running more miles than what’s on your plan

Believing that your training schedule is ‘fixed’

Overlooking the importance of training ‘fuel’

Trying new things on race day

Prioritizing running, alone
Chances are, you will benefit from our conversation around one or more of the above traps!
We hope that this episode reinforces your perspective of what’s most important to do and not do, for an effective, sustainable, and joyful approach to running.

August 23, 2022EP. 32 - Tips to Overcome Irregularity, Inconsistency, & Injury in Your Training
This episode is full of applicable insights to maximize your training (and life) by proactively combatting the factors that limit you.
We discuss these three limitations in detail:
Irregularity

Inconsistency

Injury
Each of the above provides its own unique set of challenges for us as athletes, professionals, and people.
Irregularities are an aspect of life that we don’t choose but can conquer through our actions. Inconsistencies are self-limiting, but allow us to build habits toward a better life. And injury is inevitable but creates the opportunity for resilience and fortitude in pursuit of our goals.
No matter your goals and best intentions, life will throw you curveballs. The power to achieve at a high level, in the face of these challenges, is what we all possess, but very few embrace.
Use this episode as a perspective-shifting conversation for your running and life journey.
